Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: Nasal bone fracture is the most common type of facial bone fracture. The standard 6-view photography was not adequate to support the evaluation of nasal deformity and the results of closed reduction. The authors have standardized a bird’s eye view photography to more effectively evaluate this nasal deformity.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records and radiologic studies of 63 nasal bone fracture patients. We had taken clinical photography including bird’s eye view that was standardized as nasal tip was aligned to Cupid’s bow of upper lip and light was focused on the nasion of all 63 patients.
Results: Nasal deviations and reductions were more noticeable on the newly standardized bird’s eye view. This clinical photography was very useful to explain the results of reduction.
Conclusion: It was concluded that this photography can be more reliable for evaluation of severity of nasal deformity and the result of closed reduction.
